The Girl from the Wardrobe



Bodo Kox : 2013
Dziewczyna z szafy

Brothers Jacek and Tomek live in a high-rise, one of many in the concrete housing estate. Tomek suffers from Savant syndrome and Jack works at home as a webmaster. Usually they are inseparable and only when Jack needs to go for a business meeting he leaves his brother with the repulsive Mrs Kwiatkowska, their neighbour. The new tenant living opposite the boys is very mysterious and seems to be something of a wild creature. Her name is Magda. She seldom leaves her flat, despises people and going out is unbearable for her. One day, Jacek needs to go to another town and asks Magda to stay with his brother. Although the young woman lives in a drug-induced world of her own, it turns out that Tomek fits right in and their meeting seems like destiny. This is the beginning of a friendship and at the same time the beginning of their end. An intimate, stylised story of three entirely different people, each lonely and alienated in his or her own way. Bodo Kox's unique feature debut was winner of the Best International Feature Film award at Rome Independent Film Festival 2014.
